To investigate the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a flexible cable in the uniform flow, experiments were conducted using a flexible cable with an external diameter of 80mm and a length of 10.48m in the wind tunnel. The characteristics of multi-modal VIV, time-frequency and traveling wave behavior of the flexible cable were analyzed. Moreover, the effects of twist direction, diameter and the single/double helical wire on the VIV characteristics of the flexible cable were investigated. It is found that the flexible cable experiences single and multi-modal VIVs in uniform flow at different inc...
